Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 477: Chapter 477 Zhou Qingyue: Does Your Dad Still Need a Daughter?

Translator: 549690339

Standing at the door was a man under five foot seven, a bit overweight, with a seemingly amiable appearance.

In his left hand, he held a bouquet of flowers, and in his right, a gift box.

Jiang Xiaoyan’s scream immediately attracted Jiang Xu and the others.

Zhou Qingyue was puzzled, “What’s wrong with this person?”

An Nuonuo was also completely confused.

Only Jiang Xu’s pupils dilated, “Damn, Jiang Yuanfeng!”

He rubbed his eyes vigorously.

There was no mistake—it was indeed him.

Jiang Xiaoyan’s father.

Wasn’t her dad supposed to be dead?

After the shock, Jiang Xiaoyan calmed down, her face cold as ice, “Old man, you’d better explain yourself clearly to me.”

Jiang Yuanfeng gave a sheepish smile, “Daughter, today’s your birthday, happy birthday. Can I come in first?”

Inside the house.

Jiang Xiaoyan sat with her legs crossed, leaning against the couch, her gaze icily fixed on the very restrained Jiang Yuanfeng sitting across from her.

Jiang Xu and the other two people on the side were all wearing the expressions of onlookers enjoying the drama.

Jiang Yuanfeng scratched his head and put the gift on the table, “Daughter, this is a present your dad carefully selected for you. See if you like it.”

Jiang Xiaoyan didn’t even glance at it, her gaze still sharp, “Old guy, don’t change the subject, just tell me, what on earth is going on.”

“Ah.” Jiang Yuanfeng sighed, “What else could it be? It’s because of your mom.

She doesn’t want you anymore, I can endure that.

But what I can’t endure is that she married another man and gave him the assets she took from me.

After all, those assets should belong to my precious daughter.

So, your dad came up with a plan.

Stage a ‘magic cicada shedding its shell’, making everyone think your dad was gone.

That way, I could lurk in the shadows, focused on dealing with that pair of dogs.

After days of plotting, I finally took back all the assets through legal means.

And that dog of a man even jumped into the river because he couldn’t handle the blow.”

At this point, Jiang Yuanfeng couldn’t help but reveal a hint of pride.

But upon seeing his daughter’s increasingly frosty expression, he quickly sat up straight.

Like a primary school student being scolded by a teacher.

“Heh.” Jiang Xiaoyan sneered sarcastically, “So, you kept it from me for so long and piled so much responsibility on my shoulders?”

“You can’t blame me for that.” Jiang Yuanfeng said weakly, “I told you not to get involved with the company affairs.

The uncles who opposed you were actually my people.

You just had to follow the path I laid out, and ultimately, the company would have returned to my hands.”

“Get out.” Jiang Xiaoyan was furious, “The father I knew died long ago.”

The whole living room was permeated with a heavy aura of murderous intent.

Jiang Xu and the others didn’t dare to breathe too heavily.

Fearing that Jiang Xiaoyan would transform the next second and punch everyone to death.

Jiang Yuanfeng couldn’t help but cast a pleading look at Jiang Xu.

He knew that if anyone could handle Jiang Xiaoyan, it was Jiang Xu.

“Ahem.” Jiang Xu touched his nose, “Though uncle has done some wrong, in the end, he’s your father, and everything he’s done was for your own good.

Besides, he’s still alive, so you’re not all alone.

Today is conveniently your birthday, and this is the best birthday present.”

Jiang Yuanfeng was overjoyed.

This kid sure knew how to speak.

Indeed, Jiang Xiaoyan’s expression relaxed a bit.

But her tone remained icy, “Hmph, since today is my birthday, I won’t hold this against you.”

Jiang Xu felt a bit amused.

Deep down she was delighted, yet she still had to put on a pretense of being haughty and indifferent.

After a while, the atmosphere eased up a bit.

Jiang Yuanfeng called Jiang Xu to the balcony.

He took out a cigarette and offered one to Jiang Xu, but after seeing him shake his head, he lit one up himself.

“Huff-”

Jiang Yuanfeng exhaled a puff of smoke, gazing into the distance, his voice deep and low, “Do you know about the Eight Great Families of Magic City?” Jiang Xu nodded, “I know, they are all giants.”

The Huang Family used to be one of them.

But it was taken down by Jiang Xu.

If Jiang Xu, Fu Xinghan, and An Feng were tied together, their combined strength would be equivalent to one of the Eight Great Families.

Jiang Yuanfeng continued, “Among the Eight Great Families, the weakest, the Huang Family, was toppled by you.

Next was the Pang Family, which is now taken down by me.”

Jiang Xu’s gaze sharpened as he involuntarily looked at this unremarkable man.

He had accomplished such a feat quietly and without fanfare, many times more impressive than his own past efforts.

“All I’ve done was for Xiao Yan,” Jiang Yuanfeng said indifferently. “I’ve thoroughly investigated the matter between you and her.

According to my old temperament, I would not have let you continue living. But now, you’ve grown too fast for me to dare to make a move against you. In short, just maintain the status quo with Xiao Yan; don’t sleep with her, got it?”

Although he did not utter any threats, Jiang Xu had already gleaned the implicit meaning behind his words.

He nodded in agreement.

He had never harbored such intentions in the first place.

“Heh heh.” Jiang Yuanfeng suddenly started to chuckle, “Of course, if you are willing to break up with your current girlfriend,

everything I have will be yours in the future.”

Jiang Xu shook his head, indicating that this was absolutely impossible.

Jiang Yuanfeng wasn’t surprised.

He didn’t stay for too long and soon left.

Jiang Xiaoyan picked up the gift from Jiang Yuanfeng.

She opened it.

It was a seven-colored gemstone.

Even those who were clueless about such things could tell it was precious.

An Nuonuo recognized the gemstone and was somewhat surprised, “This is a top-tier gem from Century Jewelry, valued at over a billion.”

Zhou Qingyue exclaimed in shock, “Oh my god, one gemstone is worth as much as my savings.

Jiang Xiaoyan, ask your dad if he’s short on daughters?”

Jiang Xiaoyan scoffed, “He’s not short of daughters, but a mistress.”

Zhou Qingyue retorted, “Then you’ll have to call me ‘mom’ in the future.”

Jiang Xiaoyan, “You’re asking for it.”

Zhou Qingyue, “Come on, let’s see who’s more powerful.”

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo exchanged helpless glances.

The two were nearly always bickering when together.

Today was quite the eye-opener.

Jiang Xiaoyan’s father was actually not dead.

Are you acting out a TV drama or what?

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo stayed until two-thirty in the afternoon before leaving.

Before leaving, Jiang Xu told Jiang Xiaoyan to invite her father over for dinner that evening.

Although Jiang Yuanfeng’s methods were questionable, he ultimately had his daughter’s best interests at heart.

Jiang Xiaoyan pursed her lips, it was unclear whether she took it to heart or not.

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo didn’t head straight back.

Instead, they strolled around the nearby park before leisurely heading back to the school.

They both suddenly didn’t feel like cooking or eating out.

They decided to deal with dinner in the cafeteria that evening.

However, before they even reached the school gates, they were stopped by a group of people.

Blond-haired and blue-eyed, they were unmistakably the group of exchange students, including both males and females.
